Set on five private acres at the end of a long asphalt drive, just minutes from Lake Wazeecha, this extraordinary log and timber residence is the culmination of a lifetime devoted to designing and building custom homes. Created by the former owner of Golden Eagle Log & Timber Homes for his daughter, it brings together decades of craftsmanship, innovation, and insight gained from helping thousands of families across North America create dream homes of their own. Every decision reflects a deep understanding of what makes a home not only beautiful, but genuinely enjoyable to live in: welcoming, functional, enduring, and thoughtfully prepared for every season of life.The approach makes an unforgettable first impression. Professionally designed landscaping and curved interlocking-paver hardscaping by nationally renowned Preston Hardscape Design form a park-like setting accented by natural boulders. Twelve-inch full-log construction, saddle-notched corners, timber details, and stonework give the exterior an authentic sense of permanence. An expansive covered porch wraps around the home,,A spacious, zero-entry tile shower features preset temperature controls, a rainhead, and a handheld shower fixtures. The walk-in closet connects directly to the bath for an effortless daily routine. Also on the main floor, the guest suite offers a vaulted ceiling, a stone feature wall with its own mini-loft, and a walk-in closet with a space-saving pocket door. Its ensuite bath includes a pedestal sink, matte-black fixtures, and a custom-tiled tub and shower. Double barn doors also allow access to the bath from the entry, giving it the flexibility to serve visitors while preserving the privacy of the guest suite. Even the hardworking spaces have been carefully designed. The mudroom and laundry area provide a true drop zone, concealed shoe storage, a cleaning closet, deep drawers, adjustable shelving, and storage for laundry baskets. Raised cabinetry surrounds the washer and dryer beneath a Corian countertop, while a large window keeps the room bright. Herringbone tile adds character and durability. Four-legged family members have been considered, too. A dog-washing station includes an adjustable handheld faucet, temperature controls, and a diverter. A pot filler offers hands-free water-bowl filling, while an exterior door with a dog flap leads to a secure, fenced park area. Protective metal detailing shields the door from paws-one of many meaningful touches revealing how thoroughly the home was planned. The professionally finished lower level expands the living space with nine-foot ceilings and radiant in-floor heat. A bright bedroom includes an oversized egress window and walk-in closet, while the full bath offers custom cabinetry, a tiled tub and shower with glass enclosure, a grab bar, built-in niche, and tile flooring. A spacious flex room with luxury vinyl plank flooring can become a recreation room, media space, fitness studio, hobby area, or additional gathering place. Behind the home's beauty is an impressive commitment to comfort and efficiency. A natural-gas boiler supplies domestic hot water and radiant heat to the basement and garage. Paired with an air exchanger, it distributes warmth through the ductwork without a conventional furnace. A smart thermostat provides customized schedules for day, night, and time away. Keyless entry integrates with the smart-home system, and select doors can receive separate codes so service providers may enter designated areas without accessing the main living space. Water filtration and softening further support effortless year-round living. The oversized 2-stall attached garage is bright and large enough for two full-size vehicles plus recreational equipment and storage. Radiant in-floor heat, hot- and cold-water connections, and a central floor drain simplify vehicle care year-round. Corrugated-steel wainscoting adds durability, while a custom glass feature wall brings style and natural light. A util
